A small item inside the paper this morning related over breakfast the sad news that four more troops from Fort Carson have been killed in Afghanistan.

They were killed by a roadside bomb in the Kandahar province last Thursday, less than two weeks after eight Fort Carson soldiers died in a fierce gun battle near the border with Pakistan in remote mountains.
